Mandatory Internship (Pflichtpraktikum) - Talent Pool (m/f/d)

Project description Bauhaus der Erde is a non-profit research institute based in Berlin and Potsdam. Our vision is a sustainable built environment that contributes to the protection of our climate and biodiversity. To achieve this, we rethink architecture, urban design, and materials science – together with partners from science, politics, business, and civil society. Our interdisciplinary team comprises around 50 employees from architecture, urban planning, and various natural science disciplines. We work project-based, scientifically grounded, and practice-oriented. As an interdisciplinary research institute, our daily work spans from hands-on lab experiments to building smooth workplace structures. We want to ensure your mandatory internship becomes a truly meaningful learning experience that perfectly matches your academic background and personal interests. Therefore, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all placements.
